I installed guvcview version 2.0.2 from the repos using Synaptic Package Manager. I also installed QT V4L2 Test Bench, which tells me (among other things) the webcam driver is uvcvideo.
I'd very much appreciate help with figuring out how to get this working. Please let me know if any other info is needed, or any other useful troubleshooting steps I can make.
